The Great Heist: China’s Epic Campaign to Steal America’s Secrets
A definitive, sure to be headline-making expose of how China has executed the largest-scale illicit transfer of capital, technology and data in history over the past thirty years—using Chinese government-backed espionage to strip, clone, and steal America’s tech and economic power across industries, from military hardware and microchips to telecommunications and pharmaceuticals.
The Great Heist exposes China’s vast espionage activities to strip the economic, geopolitical, and military power and influence of the United States and the West. Through clandestine collection operations, including actions against the Department of Defense, Boeing, Cisco, DuPont, Verizon, Tesla, and dozens of other high-value targets, China has stolen the crown jewels of America’s cutting-edge technology and saved itself trillions of dollars in R&D since the 1990s. And they continue to successfully spy on us today.Based on special investigations and interviews with counterintelligence insiders, corporate security experts, former government officials, espionage targets and corporate victims, The Great Heist reveals how industrial espionage, and the associated theft of corporate secrets has been the single most critical contribution to China’s rapid economic ascent and military buildup, underpinning the CCP’s relentless drive for global supremacy.
